The History Of The Marquee Club

In its day, the Marquee Club was the place to be. What a galaxy of stars played there - David Bowie (pictured), Charlie Watts, Dave Stewart, Manfred Mann and other Marqueers share their memories of the club in this two-part history.

Bowie recalls his final Ziggy Stardust performance at the Marquee, which started as a jazz venue in 1958, then shifted to rhythm and blues, then rock. Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Cream - they all played there. It lasted a full 30 years as a top venue.
